Spirit Airlines Overhauls Baggage Rules Post-Bankruptcy: What Travelers Must Know
By David Miller
Spirit’s overhauled service tiers change the mathematics of booking individual bags. Below is how the updated fare categories structure baggage rights across domestic itineraries:
| Travel Tier | Personal Item Inclusion | Carry-On Bag Allowance | Checked Bag Allowance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Go (Standard Bare Fare) | Included (18 x 14 x 8 in) | A la carte ($45, $89) | A la carte ($38, $79) |
| Go Savvy | Included (18 x 14 x 8 in) | Choice of 1 Carry-On OR | Choice of 1 Checked Bag (50 lbs) |
| Go Comfy | Included (18 x 14 x 8 in) | 1 Included (Standard) | 1 Included (Up to 50 lbs) |
| Go Big | Included (18 x 14 x 8 in) | 1 Included (Priority boarding) | 1 Included (Up to 50 lbs) |
For individuals traveling with significant gear, selecting the "Go Savvy" bundle early often totals less than purchasing a baseline ticket and paying standalone baggage charges downstream.
